Well clearly, there hasn't been much evolving in the case of the above!

No there does not seem to have been much, but there seems to have been a lot of indoctrination.
Quite a few of them seem to be like Pavlov's dogs, ring the bell and you get "We are the greatest".

This is a bloody shame, because when I was working overseas I found a lot of yanks that didn't seem any different to us Aussies, apart from the accent, and they seemed to dislike the "Stereotypical Yank" as much as we do.

At no point did they even ask if I was in a health fund, yet I have heard that in the land of the free you can lay in the gutter and die if you're not in one.

That's why it's also known as the home of the brave. You have to be brave to get sick over there.


S.A. I missed your usual bit about your wife being an Aussie, poor girl, as you used to tell us. :confused: Nothing wrong on the home front I hope.

Hey, some of my best friends fit that description, in fact, I'm currently sponsoring a couple of their kids in their quest for Oz residency.

The nasty kind are good sport though, as opposed to being good sports.

Yeah, to hell with the racial vilification laws. :eek:

Well you see, this particular kind of villification isn't actually based on race, but rather on the content/form of the bit between the shoulders.

It's just a deliciously dumb co-incidence that the term "jerk" was coined in the country that propogated most of 'em.

As to him being a troll Al, I don't think he has the wit.

Im starting to wonder about what Al was saying about being a troll.

He cant really be that deluded can he?
